Courtney Babic, Certified Expert Organizer and founder of The Caring Sort

Certified Expert Organizer®

Courtney Babic

I've always had a knack for making spaces feel more organized, functional, and inviting. Long before organizing became my career, I was the person friends and coworkers called when a space needed more order and breathing room.

Today, I combine that lifelong passion with years of experience managing complex projects and deadlines to help Tampa Bay homeowners create calmer, more functional spaces. As a Certified Expert Organizer® with Me In Order, I bring professional training, expertise, and a compassionate, judgment-free approach to every project, creating practical, personalized systems that make everyday life easier.

Whether you're overwhelmed by clutter, ready to simplify, or unsure where to begin, I'll meet you where you are and help create a home that feels calmer and works better for your life. My services are offered through Me In Order, the only organization authorized to represent Certified Expert Organizers® in the Tampa Bay area, with rigorous screening, education, certification, and ongoing training.

Organizing isn't just about stuff — it's about creating space for what matters most

How Can I Help?

My Services

Every home, and every reason for needing help, is different. Services are customized to your needs, priorities, and goals.

Home Organization

Create functional, easy-to-maintain systems for closets, kitchens, pantries, bathrooms, bedrooms, home offices, playrooms, and garages, customized to how you actually live, so the space stays organized long after the session ends.

Decluttering & Simplifying

Thoughtful support for sorting through your belongings, letting go of what no longer serves you, and creating more space for what matters. Whether it's one overflowing closet or an entire home, we'll move at a pace that feels manageable.

Moving & Unpacking

From pre-move decluttering and packing to unpacking and organizing your new home, I'll help your move feel less chaotic so you're not just relocated, you're actually settled in.

Downsizing & Transitions

Compassionate, hands-on support for simplifying belongings through downsizing, divorce, loss, retirement, or other major life changes. We'll sort through even decades of belongings with care, not pressure.

Specialty Organizing

Customized support including paper organizing, home inventories, photo organizing, space planning, closet design, and digital or virtual organizing for clients who prefer remote guidance.

ADHD & Chronic Disorganization

Flexible, personalized systems designed around how your brain actually works, not how organizing "should" look. Strategies that reduce friction, support focus, and make daily routines easier to keep up.

Closet organizing · Tampa

Hands-down, the best organizer I’ve ever met in my life. She was thoughtful and caring. And efficient in a timely manner. 10 out of 10 would recommend.

Ally K.

Bedroom organizing · Brandon

Courtney was amazingly helpful; she helped me clean out and reorganize my home office. I was nervous because I am a sentimental hoarder, but Courtney helped me to see where I could part with items and did not pressure me if I decided to keep something.

Beth L.

Home office organizing · Tampa

Courtney walked into a house full of decades of belongings and never once made me feel judged. She was patient, kind, and endlessly encouraging. Our pantry and closets still look beautiful months later.
